Hi Alexander,

>FYI my Google profile is
>adeliyannis If you see another one with my name you may ignore it.

Google+ cannot find an “adeliyannis” to add to my circles - it did find you using your whole name.

I will try to send the rest of my comments via Google+ and am curious to see what (if anything) happens!

regards, Susanne

I found a Dominik Deliyannis who is “Consultant and project manager on environment and business.” Is that you?

You can find my profile easily via this link: http://gplus.to/adeliyannis
(FYI gplus.to is a third party service, to make it easier to link to profiles avoiding the multitude of numbers)

I copy below a post I made on Susanne’s profile, as this is can only be seen by those involved in the specific conversation.

Re finding other people, as long as they are in your Gmail contact list they should be available as suggestions in Google+ circles. If you are in Facebook, here’s how to get your FB contacts into Gmail http://lifehacker.com/5817003/import-facebook-friends-to-google%252B-by-going-through-yahoo-first

Gmail can also import any .csv list of emails.

Google+ itself should become more prominent as it is integrated with other Google services:

Quick update:

while I cannot get the Facebook import to work (has facebook blocked this too?) I have found another way to find people that share interests:
in your search bar, enter “site:plus.google.com xxx” where xxx is one or more words specifying what you are looking for, f.ex. I used “psychology” or “cognitive” and instantly found some interesting posts, from there you dan go to the author etc.

FYI: Google+ is being changed this week based on user feedback
http://www.geek.com/articles/geek-pick/google-is-being-tweaked-this-week-based-on-user-feedback-20110711/

Of interest to this group, among others, may be the following enhancements:

- Ability to share Google Docs and Calendar with circles
- Revamp Google Reader to make sharing easier
- File-sharing integration
- Nested comments
- Addition of hashtags to aid searching
